The Burnaby Village Museum is back in action this weekend, and best of all, it’s celebrating its 50th anniversary this summer season. History fanatics admire this place, and families always have a great time visiting.
The museum will reopen on May 7th, 2022, and will feature several new activities, exhibits, and entertainment for everyone to enjoy. The new additions come as the Burnaby Village Museum commemorates the 50 years they’ve been in business. Some of the new exhibits include, We are 50: Explore the Unexpected, which will shine more light on objects rarely seen by visitors, and the Kids Conservation Lab, where the young ones can find out how to become a museum conservator.
Our popular school program, Spring Discovery Days, is back!🌱 From May 10th to June 24th, tour the Museum’s exhibits and grounds at your own pace while learning about cultural diversity, community, and our local environment.

This place is always popular because it truly does bring people back in time and shows them what life was like back in the 1920s. From the historical attractions to the heritage buildings to the staff that dresses up like they’re in the twentieth century, this place never fails to bring you back 100 years.
It’s also a great chance to learn more about the history of Burnaby Village through old photographs and anniversary banners that they have on display. The museum’s cultural heritage manager, Deborah Tuyttens, has mentioned how thrilled she and her staff are to be celebrating such a milestone with the community this year.
“We’re very excited about our anniversary celebrations and hope that Burnaby residents and visitors from all over will celebrate with us. It’s a great time to look back at the village’s history, but it’s also a great time to look forward.”
This Saturday the Museum opens at 11 am. Help us celebrate 50 years: go for a carousel ride & take in the Carousel Gallery exhibit.
🎠Carousel rides are $2.65, last ride at 4:15 pm.
